A Pelton wheel vane directs a horizontal,
circular cross-sectional jet of water
symmetrically as indicated in the figure below
and in the Video. The jet leaves the nozzle with
a velocity of V=108fts. Determine the x
direction component of anchoring force
required to
(a) hold the vane stationary,
(b) confine the speed of the vane to a value U of
7fts to the right.
The fluid speed magnitude remains constant
along the vane surface.
Assume D=4 in.
(a)FA=
FA=
